When my dad started the Aleutian P-38 last year, I thought wouldn´t it be nice if it had some company?

Well, this was once again a prolific year for my dad. Being 74, with weaker getting eyes and shaky hands, he still keeps up his good work and i hope he still has some good years ahead and I can present you a lot more of his work.
We wish [...]

Hobby Boss F4F-3 (late) kit with Superscale decals. The wing walkway decals came from the sparesbox. The kit and also the Superscale star decdals for the wings were to small, took suiting decals from a [...]
So, my dad has finally finished his mojo killer.

Well, it didn´t turn [...]
